Society for the Study of the Short Story

Joseph Longo

Applies postmodern theory to short fiction, a genre usually subsumed by postmodernists under the category "prose fiction" or "narratology."

Postmodern Approaches to the Short Story

Here twenty-one interviews (eighteen with contemporary writers and three with scholars of the short story) reveal the demanding and exhilarating requirements the short story imposes upon its practitioners. Although amateurs delight in writing stories, form proves to demand a master touch, like that of the interviewees.
